From the Garden

Healthy “Greens” Hummus is perfect for using up greens hanging out in the fridge of growing in the garden. It’s a bit of a cross between Pesto and Hummus. I’m just starting to get a few things to harvest from our garden. I’m stocking my fridge with some healthy snacks! Hummus is easy to make yourself and always have on hand. It’s great to dip with veggies, chips or pretzels. Perfect for parties or just to have at home. Spread it on a veggie wrap or bagel, or jazz up a turkey sandwich for an easy lunch!

Instructions

Hummus is one of those things that, with a food processor, you can easily make at home instead of buying at the store. Chickpeas are the base and pack the protein. Everything else just adds flavor and the yogurt makes it extra creamy. Just add all the ingredients to the bowl of the processor and blend until smooth.

The greens you use don’t need to be an exact amount. Just add a couple handfuls of any combination you have, spinach, kale, arugula, scallions, Swiss chard, basil, or cilantro. Different combinations of greens will give you slightly different flavors. So, change it up and put your own spin on healthy homemade snack dip!
